Lead #3Who saw Christine walking to school that morning, and did anyone notice anything unusual about her behavior or appearance?
Christine Green, a 16-year-old girl, left her home in Philadelphia on April 23, 1985, to walk to school and never returned—a stark departure from her reliable habit of coming home on time or calling ahead. She had recently undergone kidney removal surgery and would have needed medication if she developed a fever, raising medical concerns about her welfare. Despite decades of investigation by the Philadelphia Police Department's Special Victims Unit, her disappearance remains unsolved, and anyone with information about her whereabouts or what happened that morning is urged to come forward.
